Former Detroit Lions quarterback Erik Kramer was arrested on Wednesday at his home in Agoura Hills, Calif. after an altercation with his wife — Cortney Baird — who told police she is now fearing for her life, according to TMZ Sports.

"I am terrified that he is out looking for me at this very moment and will kill me and my daughter," Baird said according to the TMZ report.

That report claims that after a verbal and physical altercation between the two, Kramer "started grabbing various household items to throw at her ... including ice packs and their knife block."

This incident comes nearly three years after Kramer's failed suicide attempt from a self-inflicted gun shot. The man who started at quarterback and won the Lions' lone playoff victory since 1957 has suffered from severe depression in the past, but said he doesn't believe it's linked to his football career.

“I’ve thought about that often, but nothing really stands out as connecting football to the sort of feeling I’ve had with depression,” Kramer told the Free Press in 2016. “It very well may be linked. It doesn’t feel like it to me.”

The report said Baird believes that Kramer's suicide attempt proves he has access to guns and can become an even larger danger.
